How to make @BeforeClass run prior Spring TestContext loads up ?
- by lisak
Hey,
it should be piece of cake for programmers using testNG. I have this scenario
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"customer-form-portlet.xml", "classpath:META-INF2/base-spring.xml" })
public class BaseTestCase extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests {
...
@BeforeClass
public void setUpClass() throws Exception {
But I'd need the spring context to be load up after @BeforeClass. I I came up with overriding AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests methods :
@BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true)
protected void springTestContextBeforeTestClass() throws Exception {
this.testContextManager.beforeTestClass();
}
@BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true, dependsOnMethods = "springTestContextBeforeTestClass")
protected void springTestContextPrepareTestInstance() throws Exception {
this.testContextManager.prepareTestInstance(this);
}
and make my method
@BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true, dependsOnMethods = "setUpClass")
protected void springTestContextPrepareTestClass() throws Exception {
}
But then I get :
Caused by: org.testng.TestNGException:
org.springframework.test.context.testng.AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests.springTestContextPrepareTestInstance()
is not allowed to depend on protected
void
org.springframework.test.context.testng.AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests.springTestContextBeforeTestClass()
throws java.lang.Exception
Make it public also doesn't help. Could please anybody mention here if it can be done in a working manner :-) I know that I could load the testContext manually, but that wouldn't be so fancy.
It works like this, but TestContextManager is not visible so I can't call prepareTestInstance() method on it :
@Override
@BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true, dependsOnMethods = "setUpClass")
public void springTestContextPrepareTestInstance() throws Exception {
}
